Abstract: An apparatus for cutting fabric includes at least one fabric wind-off device (1, 1') for one fabric bolt (7), a conveyor belt (5) for conveying the unwound fabric, and a cutting device (3) which cuts a piece of fabric to a given shape from the length of fabric deposited on the conveyor belt (5). Said conveyor belt (5) extends without interruption from at least that point where the fabric is deposited by the wind-off device (1, 1') to the working area of the said cutting device (3). The wind-off device (1, 1') places the length of fabric directly onto the conveyor belt (5) or onto one of more lengths of fabric already deposited on the said conveyor belt. An apparatus control automatically feeds the unwound fabric to the cutting device and directs the cutting of the unwound fabric by the cutting device.

Abstract: Method of controlling cross-direction property profiles of a paper web (5). The method employs a control system (150) for regulating a headbox (3) or headboxes (3a, 3b) of a paper machine. Said property profile or profiles is/are measured by a measurement system (40, 140). The measurement signal thus obtained is supplied to said control system (150). The headbox (3) or headboxes (3a, 3b) is/are supplied with at least two feed streams (11, 12) which contain feedstuffs for the paper suspended in aqueous solution. The feed streams are divided into feed zones in cross-machine sections of the headbox (3) or headboxes (3a, 3b). Said feed zones are each supplied with combinatory streams of said feed streams (11, 12; 11, 12, 13; 11, 12, 13, 14). A property, such as, concentration and/or consistency and/or brightness and/or color and/or equivalent, of one or more feedstuffs of said feed streams (11, 12; 11, 12, 13; 11, 12, 13, 14) is measured. The thus obtained measurement signal is fed to said control system (150). Based on said measurements of the property profile or profiles and based on said measurements of said property and based on setpoint values, control signals are formed. By means of them, an actuator (10) or an actuator combination (10a, 10b) situated at each of said feed zones of the headbox (3) or headboxes (3a, 3b) is regulated, by which actuator or actuator combination combinatory proportions of different feed streams (11, 12) supplied to the feed zone are affected to achieve a desired property profile or profiles of the web (5).

Abstract: Cet écouteur, susceptible d'être utilisé par des personnes malentendantes comme par des personnes ne présentant pas de déficience auditive et ce, afin de les mettre en mesure de communiquer avec un dispositif externe, un noeud de communications par exemple ou des téléphones cellulaires, est constitué d'un conduit auditif dont les dimensions sont telles qu'il peut être placé dans le méat acoustique externe de l'utilisateur tout en restant, en partie du moins, ouvert pour recevoir directement les sons ambiants. Une unité de traitement du son amplifie les sons ambiants reçus afin de produire des signaux analogiques traités. On utilise un connecteur câblé bidirectionnel pour raccorder l'écouteur aux dispositifs externes de façon à ce que ces derniers puissent, par le biais dudit connecteur, d'une part, recevoir les signaux analogiques traités et, d'autre part, transmettre des signaux à l'écouteur. Les signaux envoyés par le dispositif externe à l'écouteur parviennent alors au haut-parleur se trouvant à l'intérieur de l'écouteur.

Abstract: The present invention provides a facility for identifying the unknown language of text represented by a series of data values in accordance with a character set that associates character glyphs with particular data values. The facility first generates a characterization that characterizes the series of data values in terms of the occurrence of particular data values on the series of data values. For each of a plurality of languages, the facility then retrieves a model that models the language in terms of the statistical occurrence of particular data values in representative samples of text in that language. The facility then compares the retrieved models to the generated characterization of the series of data values, and identifies as the distinguished language the language whose model compares most favorably to the generated characterization of the series of data values. <IMAGE>
